Vintage Art Deco–style oversized 1940s black leather clutch purse. Bold, architectural silhouette with an eye-catching orange Bakelite crocodile motif (possibly a later addition), set against a deep black grain. Top metal zip closure with a substantial leather zip pull for easy handling.
Condition: Good vintage condition. The leather shows expected age-related wear — scuffs, marks, and light scratches consistent with use and period character. Bakelite motif intact; please note the possibility it was attached after manufacture.
Dimensions: 15” wide × 8” high × 3” deep.
Notes: A striking statement piece that blends 1940s craftsmanship with Art Deco flair. Perfect for collectors or as a standout evening clutch; the oversized proportions also make it practical for everyday use. Vintage items are sold as described.
